Instructions
Make the wonton filling: Place filling ingredients in a bowl.
Use a potato masher to mash until fairly smooth – about 20 mashes. Don’t turn the prawn into a complete paste, small chunks are good.
Wrapping wontons: Lay wontons on work surface.
Use 2 teaspoons to put the filling on the wontons. Work in batches. Brush 2 edges with water. Fold to seal, pressing out air. Brush water on one corner and bring corners together, pressing to seal. Place wrapped wontons into a container with a lid as you work.
Cooking/Freezing wontons:
To cook, bring a pot of water to boil. Add wontons and cook 4 minutes until floating. Remove with slotted spoon to bowls. To freeze, freeze uncooked in containers. Cook from frozen 6-8 mins.
Make the broth:
Place broth ingredients in a saucepan and simmer 5-10 mins to infuse flavors. Remove garlic and ginger before serving. Blanch veggies in broth if using.
Assemble: Add cooked noodles to bowls if using. Top with wontons and ladle over hot broth. Garnish with green onions.
